Delayed administration of the GLP-1 receptor agonist liraglutide improves metabolic and functional recovery after cerebral ischemia in rats
Publication date: 22 February 2017 Source:Neuroscience Letters, Volume 641 Author(s): Wenbin Dong, Yunping Miao, Aiying Chen, Min Cheng, Xiaodi Ye, Fahuan Song, Gaoli Zheng Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists administered before or immediately after induction of experimental stroke have been shown to provide acute neuroprotection. Here, we determined whether delayed treatment with a GLP-1R agonist could improve metabolic and functional recovery after stroke. Rats were subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) and given the well-established GLP-1R agonist liraglutide (50, 100, or 200μg/kg) or nor...

Liraglutide and Renal Outcomes in Type 2 Diabetes: Results of the LEADER Trial
ASN 2016 High Impact Clinical Trial Johannes F. Mann, Kristine Brown Fandsen, Gilbert Daniels, Peter Kristensen, Michael Nauck, Steve Nissen, Stuart Pocock, Neil Poulter, Soren Rasmussen, William Steinberg, Mette Stockner, Bernard Zinman, Florian Baeres, Richard Bergenstal, Steve Marso, John Buse. Erlangen, Germany. Liraglutide, as compared to placebo, was studied in a RCT of 9340 high-risk type 2 diabetic patients to examine the impact on the primary composite outcome of nonfatal MI, nonfatal stroke, and cardiovascular death.  The secondary renal endpoint (composite of doubling serum creatinine, ESRD, death due to renal ...

Expensive New Diabetes Drugs Add Nothing But Cost And Complications
This is the fourth in an ongoing series of blogs exposing the rampant misuse of the medications so aggressively promoted by greedy drug companies. I am very lucky in having the perfect partner in this truth-vs-power effort to contradict Pharma propaganda with evidence based fact. Dick Bijl is President of the International Society of Drug Bulletins (ISDB), an impressive association of 53 national drug bulletins from all around the world, each of which publishes the best available data on the pluses and minuses of different medications. Drug bulletins help patients and doctors see through the misleading misinformation ge...

Cardiovascular Effects of Glucose-Lowering Therapies for Type 2 Diabetes: New Drugs in Perspective.
Abstract PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to review the results of clinical trials assessing the cardiovascular effects of drugs for type 2 diabetes and the cardiovascular effects of newer available drugs. METHODS: We performed a detailed search of PubMed-listed publications, reports from international meetings, and ongoing studies from clinical trials.gov. FINDINGS: Currently available drugs have neutral or, in some cases, negative effects on cardiovascular outcomes. Modern sulfonylureas appear to be safe, although the biguanide metformin has a slightly better cardiovascular safety profile than th...

A new era in the management of type 2 diabetes: is cardioprotection at long last a reality!
The EMPA-REG OUTCOME and the LEADER trials have revealed a new era in the management of type 2 diabetes. The SGLT2 inhibitor empagliflozin demonstrated a lower rate of the primary composite outcome of death from cardiovascular causes, nonfatal myocardial infarction, or nonfatal stroke compared to placebo. Liraglutide, a GLP-1 analogue, succeeded to demonstrate reduction on a composite outcome including first occurrence of cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction or non-fatal stroke. These two medications act through different mechanisms and has consequently shown different patterns of cardiovascular benefit.

Successful Glycemic Control Decreases the Elevated Serum FGF21 Level without Affecting Normal Serum GDF15 Levels in a Patient with Mitochondrial Diabetes.
Abstract Mitochondrial diabetes mellitus is a subtype of diabetes linked to mutations in mitochondrial DNA. In patients with mitochondrial diabetes mellitus, the effect of glycemic control on the serum concentrations of fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) and growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) has not been evaluated. FGF21 and GDF15 have been reported to be useful biomarkers for the diagnosis and severity assessment of mitochondrial diseases like mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS). Recent studies have shown FGF21 acts in an endocrine fashion to regulate ...

EMPA-REG and Other Cardiovascular Outcome Trials of Glucose-lowering Agents: Implications for Future Treatment Strategies in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
Abstract During the last decade, the armamentarium for glucose-lowering drugs has increased enormously by the development of DPP-4 inhibitors, GLP-1 receptor agonists and SGLT2 inhibitors, allowing individualization of antidiabetic therapy for patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Some combinations can now be used without an increased risk for severe hypoglycemia and weight gain. Following a request of the US Food and Drug Administration, many large cardiovascular (CV) outcome studies have been performed in patients with longstanding disease and established CV disease. In the majority of CV outcome studies, CV ris...
